$\:$

${\bold { \underline{\large{ Capture\: fishing}}}}$

• Fishes are captured from their natural habitat like rivers, ponds, canals, etc.

• Locating fish is easy, and fish can be captured by using fishing nets.

• Rearing or seeding of fish is not required.

$\:$

${\bold { \underline{\large{ Mariculture}}}}$

• It is rearing and breeding of marine shell fishes like prawns, mussels, oysters and marine fin fishes,etc.

• Fish can be located with the help of satellite and echo sounders. Marine fish can be caught by using boats and nets.

• Rearing and seeding of fish and other organisms is required.

$\:$

${\bold { \underline{\large{ Aquaculture}}}}$

• Fish and shell fish are cultured in freshwater resources like rivers, ponds, etc and brackish water.

• Fish can be located easily and caught by using fish nets.

• Fish and other organisms are reared and seeded.
